Elizabeth Barton explores the beauty of everyday environments. She uses her art to create a sense of memory and time and translates this into fiber with marvelous effects of light and color. Her work includes cityscapes, landscapes and abstracts that incorporate both unified composition and satisfying details. She enjoys working in a series, recently creating a series based on memories. She finds the quilt medium ideal for repetition and serialization.

Elizabeth’s workshop will focus on building a body of work through developing a series. In the workshop you will develop at least six related designs and will learn how one design can lead one to another, and then another. You will also discover how to design and work on six ideas and six pieces at the same time. The elements of design will be an inherent part of the workshop. Critique sessions and review of other well known artists work will enhance the learning environment.

Elizabeth was born and educated in York, England and immigrated to the United States in 1976. She has a PHD in Psychology and has taught at The University of Georgia. She now devotes all her time to creating art quilts, traveling and teaching.
